Let's Play

Let's Play is a collection of videogame playthroughs with commentary (either text or audio).

Let's Play videos show the videogame being played while the player talks about what he is doing in real time commentary (sometimes just with text). Generally the playthroughs are spread over several segments of play (varying in time). Rarely some action is done "off screen" or speeded up to not get too repetitive, but in most cases the playthrough is a complete run of the game including all "Game Overs" and deaths. The videos are usually a humorous way to learn about a videogame without having to play it. For a more informal description and list of other Let's Play resources, see TV Tropes.

The majority of this collection is currently contributed from the Let's Play Archive. This mainly focuses on the Something Awful Let's Play! forum.

If you have any contributions to make to this collection please contact Simon Carless, the Internet Archive's curator attached to this project, at simon@archive.org

So, what do you suppose you get when you cross Resident Evil 4, Shenmue, and Twin Peaks? The answer took the form of a game released in February of 2010; a low budget survival horror game from a small Japanese studio. Originally known as Rainy Woods in 2007, and given the name Red Seeds Profile upon release in Japan, the version of the game released in America was called Deadly Premonition. Developed by Access Games, and headed up by game director Hidetaka Suehiro (better known as SWERY),...

Why this game, rather than the others in the series? Well, GTA 3 doesn't have motorcycles, and San Andreas is just too big. Besides that, I picked Vice City because I just felt like it. Hey, how about running cool mods for extra cars and stuff? No mods. Mainly because, in my experience, they make things more crashy.

The 7th Guest was an early CD-ROM game for the PC, released in April 1993. I personally wouldn't consider it a 'horror game', but a creepy and atmospheric puzzle/adventure game. The gameplay generally involves exploring, finding clues, solving puzzles, being subjected to puns, and putting together the mystery of what happened in the mansion. Although it's a pretty famous title, I consider it greatly underappreciated. Original Archived Version available at the Let's Play Archive .

The story of Redneck Rampage revolves around two brothers, Leonard and Bubba, who fight against a horde of shape changing aliens in the town of Hickston, USA in order to rescue their prized pig Bessie and stop the alien invasion. It may be on the crude side but it is at times entertaining. Original archived version available at the Let's Play Archive

In 1994, Looking Glass Technologies began what would become a trend of coming out with a great game at a horrible time. System Shock was arguably one of the most innovative games of its time, however, as an FPS (a narrow and limiting definition) it regrettably disappeared within the shadow cast by the earlier release of Doom II. Though it offered true 3D and a deep story with fresh mechanics, the game simply didn't sell. The story of a rogue artificial intelligence being thwarted by the efforts...

Phantasmagoria 2 is one of the last attempts at making an adventure game with digitized actors portraying characters. While it’s a sequel in name to Phantasmagoria 1, which was previously LPed by Spiteful Crow, the game’s story doesn’t have any ties to its predecessor other than a fleeting reference to its main character, Adrienne. Like the first one, Phantasmagoria 2 is known for its violent and gory content. It also has sexual content, though it’s mostly only alluded to, with only one...

Myth:TFL is a "real-time tactical" game released for Mac and PC in 1997 by Bungie Studios. In defiance of established RTS conventions, it has no base-building, resource-gathering, or tech tree. What it does have is a collection of unusual or groundbreaking features such as 3D terrain, ballistic and collision physics, squad formations, a free-rotating player POV, and hardware-accelerated graphics that (thanks to maintenance from the fanbase) are still easy on the eyes.

God of War 2 was released for the Playstation 2 March of 2007 by Santa Monica Studios. By this time the Playstation 3 was already released and the market was drying for Playstation 2 games. Even though it came at the end of the Playstation 2's life, God of War 2 is considered one of the greatest games for that system. Featuring a large improvement on graphics and gameplay, God of War 2 took everything from the first game and turned it up to 11. The game follows the story of Kratos, as he...

In 1994, there was Star Trek Generations, a pretty good Trek movie up until the last act, when the plot stops returning making sense's calls, and Captain Kirk shows up in a --in my humble opinion-- completely counterproductive and undesirable last moment of glory. Good movie, but I think cutting out the entire Kirk storyline and the thereby unnecessary time travel parts would've made it far better. But never mind that. Three years after the release of the movie, there was this game, Star Trek...
